LabFREED for Vendors

Keep In Touch With Your Products

Your products are the connection to your customers.

However, it is easy to lose touch. Are your products thriving, or are they forgotten on a shelf? Do their owners know how to care for them properly? If they need your support, would they know how to find you?

LabFREED ensures that connection remains strong by providing seamless access to information, support, and engagement.

Benefits

One Identifier for Many Product Types

LabFREED identifiers (called PAC-ID) can be used consistently across different types of assets:

  • Devices
  • Substances
  • Consumables
  • Methods
  • Results
  • and more

This enables a single identification approach across your entire product ecosystem.

Avoid Relabeling

PAC-IDs are designed to be stable and meaningful. The identifier remains the same even if documentation, services, or infrastructure change. Customers do not need to relabel products or maintain separate internal codes.

Self-Contained and Human-Readable

  • The PAC-ID itself carries structured information.
  • It can be read and interpreted by both humans and IT systems.
  • The same PAC-ID can be printed as text, barcode, or QR code.

Connect Products to Information

Because the PAC-ID has a structured format, different services can be associated with the same product without changing the identifier itself. Users can be guided directly to relevant information such as:

  • MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets)
  • Certificates of Analysis (CoA)
  • Operation manuals
  • Support pages
  • Additional documentation

This enables self-service for customers and reduces routine support requests.

Why Use LabFREED?

No Strings Attached

LabFREED is a community-driven effort.

  • No licensing fees
  • No vendor lock-in
  • You stay in control of your infrastructure

The LabFREED ecosystem consists of independent building blocks. You can adopt only the components that make sense for you.

The community provides guidance and an adoption roadmap to help you get started.

Implement at Your Own Pace

Product identifiers often outlive the IT systems that support them. LabFREED is designed so identifiers remain useful even when infrastructure changes.

  • You can start small
  • You do not need to know all future requirements
  • Services can be added later

Works With Existing and Future Environments

A simple photo already documents a LabFREED identifier.

Adding a scanner allows the identifier to be captured and stored in systems such as:

  • ERP systems
  • LIMS
  • Documents
  • Reports

Once identifiers are stored digitally, new integrations and workflows become possible.
